Every Holy War was a great reshuffle between the forces of various races. This reshuffle was not limited to the mortal world, but also involved the True Gods.
No one could live forever. This did not only refer to humans, but also powerful existences like the True Gods. They had their own mortal enemies and difficulties that they could not overcome. They were also destined to fall one day. This was because when they fell, the number of lives that they would drag down to accompany them in death would be a little too much.
When the flames of the Holy War were ignited, the original order was on the brink of collapse. The grudges that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted. Those who wished to take the next step forward cursed and swore vengeance. When these "venerated" existences began to use their own power, chaos would naturally never end.
The Wind Elemental God Kamdiran was one of them. He was very troubled. Although the original four Ancient Elemental Gods were not Chaos Main Gods, as the direct subordinates of the Chaos Goddess, they were not far from the position of Main God.
"Your mission is to cooperate with the Black Winged Race to create chaos. Do you understand?"
Now that he had finally returned from the seal, everything remained the same, but the people had changed. Those juniors who were originally not worth mentioning were now above him. No matter how he looked at it, the prideful Kamdiran felt very uncomfortable.
As the most ambitious existence among the four Elemental Gods, he was very dissatisfied with his current situation.
"Damn it, damn it, Baldwin. A little Half-Goat Guardian God dares to be so rude. I, Kamdiran, am the highest existence. What right do you juniors have to criticize me?"
Even though the seal had been removed, the status of the Elemental Gods was still very embarrassing. As the direct subordinates of the Chaos Goddess, they should be Main God level existences. However, not to mention Main Gods, even the Guardian God of a weak race did not take them seriously.
Unlike the other Elemental Gods who only allied themselves with the natives, the powerful Camdian was able to make the Winged Tribe, who had lost their ability to fly, completely submit to him with just a little trick. He had his own ambitions as he controlled the ancient floating battleships and floating cities, and as he gradually discovered his own awkward position, he began to form his own ideas about the situation.
"They actually want someone as noble as me to become a bandit leader? If I really do that, won't I offend all the countries along the way sooner or later? When the war escalates, I'll become cannon fodder in this Holy War."
The strange hooded visitor's visit also gave him an opportunity, but he was cautious and continued to wait and see. However, Rose's message made him finally make up his mind.
"I've already obtained the guarantee of Aillé and Wumianzhe. Perhaps, a new God System will be born in the north. That's all I have to say. Do as you see fit. But no matter what, the elves of the Northern Lands are mine. You're not allowed to touch them! "
This twisted and chaotic message allowed the Wind Elemental God to understand the conflicted emotions of this similarly ancient and frustrated veteran God. And so, he finally made up his mind.
"Even if I fail, I'll just seal myself and sleep. It won't be any worse than it is now. But if I succeed, not only will I be able to take revenge on that disgusting piece of earth, but I'll also be able to obtain a territory for the Winged Tribe. In that case, I'll be able to become a Guardian God, gather enough faith and Divine Concepts to become a True God. This … I'll take this gamble! "
Along with the Thunder Elemental Lord's rage, the ancient elemental war began once again in the modern world. The earth elementals who were in the process of constructing a Dimensional Bridge met their old enemy. Lightning and whirlwinds descended from the sky, intending to tear apart this land.
* Boom! * * Boom! *
The first to open fire was the wind elemental vassal, the Winged Tribe. The cannons of the black airships ignited everything in front of them. The floating city that descended from the sky was the sturdiest mobile fortress.
As he descended, countless black-winged "angels" flew out from within the floating city. As the cloud ship descended, they howled and obeyed their instincts to hunt, cheering as they launched surprise attacks. As they descended, they tossed out their battle spears imbued with the power of lightning, transforming them into streaks of fatal lightning.
The Storm Tribe's first wave of attacks didn't achieve much. The earth elemental army, which had tough skin and flesh, crawled out from the cracks in the ground. They raised their giant stone war hammers and prepared for battle.
As the elemental warriors from both sides exchanged fire, the battlefield descended into complete chaos. Countless earth and wind elementals began melee combat. Tall stone giants fought against the Storm Giants formed from whirlwinds, while gigantic children of the earth raised rocks and threw them at the children of the sky. Lightning that didn't have any dark clouds to accompany it tore through the sky again and again.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, causing a temporary vacuum to appear on the battlefield.
"Ahhh! I curse you! I curse you, Rose! I curse you that you'll die one day! I curse you to be betrayed and killed by your own children! "
Just as the battle was going on like a raging fire, a pitiful scream echoed in the hearts of all living creatures. Everyone instinctively looked towards the northern horizon, where a gigantic flaming meteor was slowly crashing down.
"A God is dead! A True God is dead! "
All living creatures instinctively knew that a God had died. However, in the northern elven kingdom, the elven warriors who were still fighting had expressions of astonishment as they watched the tragedy unfold before them. They couldn't believe that the Forest Guardian God Clairladin they worshiped would actually lose to the Evil God Rose.
Currently, the most intense part of the battlefield was scorched earth. That place had just experienced a destructive battle that no mortal could withstand.
There was a gigantic black spider that would cause anyone to have nightmares there. She was currently eating with her children, and their food was a seven-colored SemiGod that was half-human, half-deer. However, judging from the withered tree phantom that was absorbed, Clairladin's true body had also descended together with the SemiGod.
Forest Guardian God Clairladin had become the first True God to die in this Holy War. Meanwhile, Rose had also used her combat achievements to prove her loyalty to certain existences.
"Cuckoo!"
One of the most muscular spiders absorbed enough nutrients and transformed into a black shadow that covered the sky as it cackled strangely. It then transformed into human form. It was a male dark elf.
"Heavens! He absorbed the divinity and divine power of the God of Ancient Wood! "
Under the elves' disbelieving gazes, the Poison God Felix of the Dark Elves was born. The northern Kingdom of the Elves was about to face their fated nightmare.
…
Although Glina and Reyne were both rulers of the Northlands, in a way, Glina was the complete opposite of Reyne.
Renée had the self-awareness of being a descendant of the Mist. She placed great importance on her duties and obligations, constantly working hard. However, due to her limited talent and aptitude, her growth would never reach her desired goals. Sometimes, working too hard and forcing herself would cause others around her to feel embarrassed and worried.
The fact that Glina was already a master engineer at such a young age was enough to explain many things. This wasn't a purely combat job class's Gold rank. Advancing into a civilian job class like engineer required even more knowledge and wisdom. This doubtlessly meant that she was quite talented in both ability and talent.
Judging from Grimm's astonishing words in the past, even Renée, who wasn't skilled in tactics and strategies, was quite skilled.
However, the current Glina gave me a strange feeling. Although I hadn't interacted with her for long, she wouldn't speak unless it was necessary. She would habitually curl up into a ball when she had nothing to do, making me think of certain existences that would die at the sight of light.
"Ah, the sunlight is so blinding! Ahhh, so annoying with so many people around! Ahhh, I'll lose my job! Let me hide inside, just ten minutes will be enough! "
"You'll come out in ten minutes?"
"No, I'll fall asleep in ten minutes and lock the door. No matter how much you call me, I won't come out again. Don't even think about making me work again. "
Alright then, after hearing these words in this alternate world, I immediately suspected that she was a transmigrator as well, or some sort of useless otaku master.
Even though I had memorized all of her speeches with excellent aptitude, it still took me a lot of time and effort to deal with her completely unmotivated personality.
Right now, right after she finished her speech, she obviously didn't have the motivation and self-awareness of a country's queen at all. Her old habits were acting up again.
"Um, I've already completed your request, hurry up and let me go back!"
Right after she finished her speech and blew the war horn, Glina requested to return to her shell.
"Hey, hey, that's too much. The other citizens are still looking at you. Even if they're pretending, you're still someone they trust and are loyal to. Just hold on a little longer. "
The main army began to move out. According to the plan, Queen Glina would be inspecting the new army in the afternoon, so how could she possibly leave at such a time? Otakus should be working under the sun!
"I can't hold on any longer! I've been outside for too long, hurry up and let me return to Grimm No.1. "
Glina's expression seemed to be suppressing something as a suspicious redness appeared on her pale face.
"Is she really feeling unwell? Dying at the sight of light? Is it the Blood Tribe? Just what kind of people are they? "
While I was hesitating, she covered her right eye and squatted down. A dim yellow light was seeping out from her eye patch.
I sensed that something was wrong with her, so I tore off her eye patch. The familiar dim yellow light allowed me to instantly understand everything, so I immediately put the eye patch back on.
"Call the priests and doctors over … Don't call the priests, go find some alchemists and pharmacists for me. Also, call Gui Ming over as well. Yep, the one who's beating up the Dracon lion head. "
Soon, the healers arrived. Even though their final report hadn't been confirmed yet, I could faintly guess what had happened.
"Cavendish, you brat! You're still causing trouble for me at such a time. "
As I hugged that petite body, I could feel my Demon blood boiling. This was obviously abnormal, so there was only one explanation. As the Demon Prince, Cavendish was summoning his descendants!
The struggling young girl stopped me from calling the medical personnel over. She grabbed my hand and looked at me with a pleading expression.
"Just put me in the mecha. There's a device inside to suppress the boiling of my blood."
"Nonsense … Sigh."
Right now, I really didn't have any other good ideas. The news that Glina was a demon definitely couldn't be leaked at this time. Left with no other choice, I opened up the interior of Clint's mecha. The small cockpit was probably just big enough to fit a small child inside.
Other than the half-eaten noodle soup and biscuits, the most eye-catching thing was the various magical chains and sealing talismans on the pilot seat.
The moment I placed Glina inside, the mecha's iron-shell-class automatic monk clanked and locked the young girl tightly. The eyes of the black mecha glowed with a steady light. Large amounts of steam spurted out from the vent on its back, and the two-meter tall steel giant stood up once more.
"Vent, such an obvious mechanical characteristic. Why didn't anyone notice it before?"
"I've seen it once before. I thought that it was because of indigestion, so I had to expel air from my body … How could I tell others about such a thing?"
"No matter how I look at it, the light around its eyes is obviously unnatural. It's a red light bulb, isn't it?"
"He's not the only one in our team with scary eyes. Who knows what bloodline he has? Since he's always seen people, it's normal for him to have some mixed blood. Sigh, it's just that he's not a Blood Tribe or a Werewolf. In the end, I lost so much money. "
"Oh, oh, you bet too? I bet on a Dwarf mixed blood, and I lost all my money as well. Damn it, just who is that GL001? He actually bet on a blonde young girl. Last night, when I was closing the bet, I lost all my money. "
“GL001？ Isn't that Grimm himself? Damn it, this brat cheated! "
Alright, let's ignore this insignificant mystery. No matter what, it was still a good thing that Grimm had revived … probably.
"Grimm # 1, revive! Ahhh, I'm finally feeling better! Let's celebrate with a round! "
The revived Grimm raised his head and pulled out several Dwarven muskets, taking turns shooting at the sky. The Gentlemen behind him began to comment.
"Ahaha, how can one round be enough? Let's have a few thousand rounds."
The mecha on his back began to transform. Soon, a hand-operated machine gun was assembled. From a certain standpoint, Grimm's true strength had always been limited by his human identity.
* Da da da! *
Accompanied by the sound of the mecha, Grimm finally began dancing in a way that no one could understand. Then, after he ran out of ammunition, he began to laugh maniacally as he assembled a new weapon with spare parts.
"So scary, his personality has probably changed."
"As expected, the mecha is the real deal. The mouthless little girl or whatever is probably just an illusion."
But unlike the others, I knew that Glina was still resisting the summoning of her bloodline. When I thought about the strong young girl who was repeatedly tossing and turning in her cockpit, I felt an indescribable pain in my heart.
"Did you always tie yourself up like this? While operating the mecha, you're chained up and your physical body is pierced with Demon Sealing Needles. This can no longer be described as hard work. It's basically torture. "
And I knew that this definitely wasn't a long-term solution. A human's willpower would always be limited, and the demons' whispers would never stop. If we forcefully blocked her like this, it would only be a matter of time before something went wrong.
"… The only solution is probably that."
Soon, Gui Ming, who had dared to come check on the situation, also looked towards me. It seemed that we had come to the same conclusion.
"Is that the only solution? The success rate isn't high. But Glina's so strong. She should be able to endure it. "
Just as we were hesitating about how to treat Glina, a pungent odor wafted towards us. It was a familiar and nostalgic smell.
"… The smell of gunpowder?"
"Foster Father, what do you think of this firework of mine!? This is something I assembled based on the formula you gave me. I call it a high-pressure goblin grenade. "
The clanging sounds of metal colliding against metal were almost over. A large goblin grenade with an external fuse was right in front of me. I felt a terrifying amount of energy flowing out from under the black metal shell, causing me to break out in a cold sweat.
"Damn, you're planning to kill your father so soon? Didn't I say that it was just a cover? Don't take it seriously. "
I thought that she was here for revenge, but when I saw her rubbing her face against the grenade's shell, I knew that I was wrong. She wasn't here for revenge at all. She was obviously here to show off her latest product.
"You've just recovered a little, and you're already in a rush to assemble a grenade? As expected of the explosive demon Grimm. "
* Gurgle. *
A small black component fell to my feet. When I picked it up and looked at it, I was no longer able to maintain my calm.
"… This seems to be a safety valve, right?"
"That's right, ah! Without this, it'll directly explode … "
* Boom! *
The rest didn't need to be said. After seeing Grimm fly out while spinning, I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration at Grimm's mecha's explosion-proof capabilities.
"As expected, this is how Grimm should be."
The moment I said that, everyone around me was nodding in agreement.
"The mecha is the main body, and the explosion is only an accompaniment. A good man never turns around to look at an explosion. A legendary man who leaves with the sound of an explosion is just that confident."
Alright then, a certain dracon sighed faintly, causing everyone to agree with him even more. However, I was rather astonished.
"Weren't you tangling with old man Gui Ming? You gave up? This isn't like you at all. "
"Sigh, let's not talk about it anymore. I really failed this time. I give up, I admit defeat!"
There was actually an existence in this world that Beifeng couldn't defeat? Hearing Beifeng admit defeat, I wasn't the only one who was astonished. Everyone looked at him with astonished expressions. They couldn't imagine that this man would actually give up. Didn't he always say that true love was invincible?
"It doesn't matter if he's too strong, or if there's an age difference. True love doesn't have much to do with external factors, but, but, he actually …"
This was the first time I had seen Beifeng with tears in his eyes. Was he so depressed after failing in a single relationship?
"… He actually transformed into a Snow Girl. He actually took a human form, a human form! How is he supposed to date in a human form!? This is the greatest failure and regret of my life, Beifeng Herault! I actually fell in love with a humanoid creature! My love is no longer pure! "
Clutching my forehead, I once again regretted wasting time on this bastard. If he would be sad because of a normal relationship, then he wouldn't be the super gentleman named Beifeng whose crime was "Beifeng."
"Um, I should have let him be the guinea pig for that goblin grenade explosion. It's not too late now. How about a gunner? We have a brave warrior who's willing to go out and scout the enemy. "
